Chapter 1508 Work For Me
"Cousin-in-law, you're here so soon. I thought you would only come tomorrow!" Qiao Mei said with a smile.
"Third Cousin was so anxious on the phone just now. How can I still dilly-dally? I wonder why Third Cousin and Third Cousin-in-law are so anxiously looking for me?" Lu Huai asked.
"My intention is to speak to you in detail at a later time, but I have a dicey situation now and need your help. I don't know if you and your buddies have time now, but the price is negotiable," Qiao Mei said.
Lu Huai had been resting at home recently. He had just finished a round of delivery and was feeling a little tired, so he wanted to take a break and spend more time with Xia You. If everything went well, they might be able to add a new member to their family soon.
When he saw Xia Fan and Xia Xing this time round, he had a warm feeling inside. The image of Xia Zhe's family of four having a harmonious time together stayed in his mind. He also wanted to have a child with Xia You.
However, there was no hurry. It was more important to earn money. Who would mind having more money?
"Tell me what's going on first," Lu Huai said seriously.
"It's alright. We've all eaten. Since Third Cousin-in-law has such an urgent matter for us to do, I can't be the one to drop the ball!" Lu Huai said with a laugh.
Lu Huai introduced Qiao Mei to each of the guys one by one, giving her their full names, the size of their trucks and the number of years of experience they had. He was so detailed that he almost listed down their ancestry as well.
"I've noted everything down. The thing is I don't just want to talk about this order today. There's also something else I want to discuss with you. I know that everyone here works freelance. You might get one order today, but none tomorrow. It's really tough not to have a steady income. I would like all of you to come and work for me. I'll pay you a monthly salary so that you can settle down properly," Qiao Mei said.
"No! We don't want to work for you! We only trust Brother Lu!" shouted a person surnamed Huang in the team. As he was the oldest among them, everyone called him Old Man Huang.
"That's not what I mean. Your leader is still Lu Huai. This is something that won't change. I just want everyone to have a more stable job. Which one of you doesn't want to have more time to spend with your wife and children in the capital?" Qiao Mei said.
This concept was particularly attractive to Lu Huai. He recalled that Qiao Mei had told Xia You that she wanted his help with something. It looked like this was what she was talking about.
Everyone looked at Lu Huai but he could not make up his mind. If he was the only one involved, he would definitely agree to Qiao Mei's proposal. However, since this concerned everyone else's livelihood, he must be very careful. Even if they were relatives, he could not make a decision carelessly.
"Third Cousin-in-law, let's get this current order done first. We can talk about the rest after this," Lu Huai said.
